Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share/ 7-12-2025
Via people magazine:
• “In 1983, a request came in for a presidential telegram congratulating Trump on the grand opening of his eponymous tower on Fifth Avenue. A lawyer in the counsel’s office wrote ‘NO’ and explained internally that it would be inappropriate because it was a ‘commercial’ venture.
• In 1984, Trump requested that Reagan attend a gala to honor Vietnam veterans in New York City and said he would schedule it for any day that worked on the president’s calendar. The White House said no.
• In 1988, the New York Board of Trade gave Trump an ‘outstanding executive’ award. The head of the group sent the White House a letter asking if POTUS could come. ‘Advanced word is that Mr. Trump will have some stimulatingly interesting comments to make during his talk at the dinner,’ he wrote. The scheduling office never seriously entertained the idea.
• Around the same time, Trump sent a glossy pink invitation to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue inviting the president and first lady to an 11 p.m. LaToya Jackson concert at his Atlantic City casino. This was ignored.
• Back in 1983, Trump snagged a picture with the president during a photo line at a White House event. The president, not paying close attention, signed it ‘Reagan Reagan.’ Five years later, Trump included the image in his book The Art of the Deal. An aide in the social secretary’s office noticed the mistake. She sent an apologetic note and a corrected picture – signed with an autopen.
Trump appears to have embellished his relationship with the former president in multiple interviews over the past year (2016). During an interview with Good Morning America in August 2015, he said of Reagan, “I have great respect for him. I helped him. I knew him. He liked me and I liked him.”
“I didn’t know him well,” Trump later admitted to The Wall Street Journal, insisting, however, that friends told him Reagan was a fan. “He felt very good about me,” Trump said. “Frankly, he liked my attitude.”
Reagan’s son Ron, a political analyst noted for his liberal views, said in a recent radio interview that his father “didn’t know Donald Trump and wouldn’t have cared for Donald Trump.”
“My father would not have known Donald Trump if Trump stood up in his soup,” Ron said.”

Wednesday political cartoons / memes / and news articles I wanted to share. Enjoy
As the myth busting website Snopes points out, “contrary to popular belief, Congressional members do not receive free health care.” Instead, they choose a gold-level Obamacare policy and receive federal subsidies that cover 72 percent of the cost of the premiums.
In short, Snopes reports that members of Congress and staff “pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions.” They also have access to “free or low-cost care” through the Office of the Attending Physician as well as “free medical outpatient care at military facilities” in the D.C. area.
That’s a pretty good deal, especially given that the average 21-year-old making $25,000 a year would be charged $282 per month for a silver Obamacare plan, and pay about half of that, or $142, thanks to subsidies, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

More memes, cartoons, and news. Hey it is still Wednesday correct? Oh crap, did it again.
I had a lot of fun recording this video of me reading headlines and giving my opinions.
In this video I read some headlines and give my opinion. I was having a lot of fun and the system stopped the camera half way through the recording. But with the program I was able to put the second record with the first into one video. As I said I felt good and comfortable. But the sad part was YouTube wouldn’t process the video for a couple days. Not sure why. But today I gave up, reformatted it, and reuploaded. It all worked. Let me know if you enjoy the video. I hope to get it down so I can switch most of my content to my videos. Hugs
